Hmm...
A universe that literally runs off of rule of cool, because bored gods? Only, less in the Gurren Lagann way, with Spiral Energy, and more with Rule of Cool being an actual law of the universe?
This of course means that the villains can win just as easily as the heroes, provided they do something sufficiently awesome, hence grandiose speeches about their plans and whatnot.

Nah, nah, brah.
We can have the cool stuff once we work out some base rules, and I want that to be at least semi-serious.
Rule of Cool idea sounds hilarious, though. Will add to a poll later.

Right.
What we need is base stats, then.
For that, we need to decide how far the power levels in this will escalate.

Well, obviously we're going to need to at least start off 10x as powerful as the average person. Maybe even 100x.

Yeah, but I meant how far will we go? Will this end up at mountain-buster, casual planet-buster, or will destroying a building be impressive?
